April - Turning Tax Filing into Easily Embeddable Infrastructure
April transforms tax filing by integrating it into banking and payroll apps, offering seamless, pre-filled tax services. With national e-file coverage and millions of users, it's reshaping how taxes are managed and optimized.
Taxes should not be a once-a-year panic attack.
April turns tax filing into infrastructure you can embed inside a money app. Instead of sending users to TurboTax land, April plugs into banks, payroll apps, and fintech platforms so taxes show up where the money already is.
It is a B2B2C model. Partners pay for April’s white-labeled, API-first tax engine, and users get a faster flow with data pre-filled from the app they already trust.
The hard part is not “nice UX”. It is e-file coverage, compliance, and state-by-state plumbing. In early 2025, April said it became the first new company in 15+ years to reach national e-file coverage, a club of roughly ten companies.
July 23, 2025, they raised a $38M Series B led by QED Investors, with Nyca Partners and Team8 participating, bringing total funding to $78M. In the 2024 tax season, April was available to millions of Americans through 50+ partners and processed hundreds of thousands of returns.
Founders are Ben Borodach (CEO, ex Deloitte and Team8) and Daniel Marcous (CTO/CPO, ex Waze and Google). Their wedge is simple: make tax an always-on layer that can power withholding optimization, quarterly payments, and even equity tax calculations, not just filing.

If you run a bank, payroll, or wealth app, would you rather build tax in-house, or rent it and own the distribution?
